    Word limits in IELTS writing must be followed strictly. There is a separate marking for the word limit. In task 1 of writing the minimum word count is 150 words and for task 2 the word limit is 250 words.

    This word count falls under a separate important parameter of the marking criteria named cohesion and coherence which asks you to organize your paragraph well with the appropriate word limit.
